More barely literate conjecture from the troll.

That's all your nonsense ever is. Conjecture. Usually flat out contradicted by the games, novels, and lore, but hey. We don't expect that much from you.

They probably didn't broadcast it since, you know, the Covenant can tap our battlenet and they didn't want to broadcast the information to the enemy, along with Noble's triangulated location. Simple answer. Naturally, it eluded you.


Ok this is the very last time I respond to you. And the only reason I'm responding is because this is quite funny.

See, I did consider the possibility that they didn't want the message to be intercepted. I was about to explain why that didn't make sense, then I decided I'd just watch you fall into the trap. Which you did.

a) transmission of co-ordinates can be encrypted and/or sent along a secure channel
b) sending 4 or 5 dudes with vital information ON FOOT through enemy territory is a much poorer option
c) WHAT THE HELL DOES IT MATTER if the Covenant intercept the coordinates - they're just going to follow the Pillar of Autumn once it jumps into slipspace anyway. lofl.

Naturally, you didn't think of this.

I'm not sure what you're getting at, since i don't have the whole journal. Note that this doesn't seem to say it's a language key, it just says it's in the same language as another artifact. Like two different sets of hieroglyphics, but no Rosetta stone. unless there's another entry which explains that

Anyway the reason i responded was to point out that the hologram object was probably fed to Halsey by the Assembly, since she doesn't know where it came from and the Assembly talk about leaking information to human scientists to speed up discovery. Maybe it's not a Forerunner artefact at all, but an Assembly fabrication, a sort of fake Rosetta stone they give to Halsey so she can figure out their lanugage quicker (or figure out something...)

Shown a hologram of an "object" - or at least a piece of an object.

This is very frustrating.

Wasn't even told what branch or group within ONI this came from, much less its point of origin - which is imperative for my complete analysis.

Curiously, the object, embedded in a stone fragment, shares many of the iconic language/code forms we discovered at the xenoarcheological site under SWORD Base.

From this supplemental data (which I couldn't copy and had to replicate from memory), I've hypothesized that the language/code, and hence the object, derives from predecessors of the Covenant, or from an unknown, more ancient alien culture. Deciphering the message on the object however, eludes me for the moment. A more definitive analysis certainly requires the actual object and all relevant etiological data.

I only shared this with my undisclosed ONI counterparts because I knew it would get back to Ackerson and "inform" him that he possesses an authentic alien artifact...one that he would need me to decipher.

If so, I'll get everything he has.


There's the entry. I have no problem copying certain segments of the journal here to provide proof.

A) The object in question shown in the journal is indeed the very same artifact from Sigma Octanus complete with some sort of semi-recognized coordinates thus still giving it importance and B) The vital data from the from Sword Base's artifact (considering the canon presented in Reach supplemented by the extended universe) is simply a language key in which Cortana would be able to decipher the coordinates from the Sigma Octanus artifact?


...you nailed it. That's exactly what Cortana was doing. Brief bit that proves the point.

Cortana (parts of her anyway) continues to learn and decipher the alien protoculture language, code forms, and hopefully technology.

She picked up a language key, picked apart the data from the artifact at Sigma and found the star map.

because Halsey had figured out how to plug an AI back into a human brain (Master Chief's, who obviously had been augmented for the purpose), and this would be 'game changing' for the war

Spartan + AI ( + Assembly) = unstoppable force

proof? the games themselves are proof. you take down the Covenant and Flood pretty much singlehandedly, with Cortana

They already knew that, ages before you deliver Cortana.

Don't pull stuff out of your ass.

"What do you hear?"
"Nothing but the rain."
"Then grab your gun and bring in the cat."
"Boom, boom, boom!"

Language key is being used very broadly, if not incorrectly. I'll admit that. But Slasher's point still stands. The data that Cortana learned from the structure under SWORD led to the decryption of the Sigma artifact.

She doesn't know which group or branch within ONI it came from, meaning that she knew it came from ONI, just not all the details. Plus the Assembly strikes me as the type to avoid stuff like that (seeing as how humanity has no idea they exist), so I believe the Assembly had no hand in this.

Not only that, but there is never a mention of the Sigma artifact from them. And from what I gather, the Assembly seems more worried about themselves, humanity and the advancement/survival of the species. Why not mention the artifact if it held some sort of importance? Because it didn't matter to them, it was nothing more then a rock with alien code in it.

EDIT: Looking back at the first point, you could argue that the Assembly leaked the data to Halsey, claiming to be ONI, as they have done stuff like this before (leaking info). However, the second point would disprove this fact. The Assembly had no interest in the Sigma artifact.

Posted by: Traxus 04
Maybe it's not a Forerunner artefact at all, but an Assembly fabrication


You mean the artifact found at Sigma correct? If that's the case, then that's false. It existed. Pulling this from the older version of The Fall of Reach, so if this bit has changed at all, anyone feel free to correct it.

The rock was a piece of granite and glittered with a few jewel like incursions.

Both Cortana and Halsey had trouble decrypting the rock (or what was in it to be more exact). However, Cortana's fragment would learn the language and the code forms from the structure under SWORD. When the Cortana fragment was reunited with the real Cortana, she was able to learn the location of Halo.

Language key, in my eyes, would be used very loosely here. The structure under SWORD helped decipher the Sigma artifact.

a: You're correct. Decryption of enemy codes through superior technology and use of captured ally machines and databases could never reveal sensative information. No war has ever had an enemy intercept, and decrypt, secure transmissions. Ever.

b: When you can't trust your coms, sending commando's on foot make more sense than a large armored noticeable convoy.

c: They are going to follow the Pillar anyway, yes. But not before one of the many ships remaining behind deals with the Spartan. Why expose them to that needlessly?

You don't think more than a single step ahead. That's your problem.

Because having a game that's somewhat satisfying is better than having a story that makes sense.


Unfortunately, the game wasnt even somewhat satisfying. Basing the game on the book would have been MUCH better.

  • 01.27.2011 4:31 AM PDT

*ahem*obviously the important thing about the coordinates is that they reach the recipient, not whether they're kept secret. smart people would realize this*cough*

Anyway, on the artifact, I was inferring from that journal entry that Halsey only had a hologram that someone in ONI had sent her. I don't have the journal so correct me if I'm wrong. It sounded to me like she didn't have the real object to study, which means the Assembly could have tampered with the data or even made the whole thing up. My point is she didn't have the ACTUAL physical thing, so even if it existed somewhere, the hologram she studies could be different.

From the datapads we do know that
a) the Assembly 'change the numbers and symbols'
b) the Assembly were aware of Forerunner artifacts even before the human gov/military/intelligence was (i don't know if they ever specifically mention Sigma though)
c) the Assembly like to feed information to human scientists/analysts through various channels, ONI's secretive messaging being the ideal method

All of that would suggest to me that some of the Forerunner stuff Halsey was studying, the Forerunner had a hand in, especially in the case of this hologram containing interesting 'symbols' from an ONI agent

btw, has anyone ever noticed that the ONI logo looks like the Illuminati symbol. Maybe the Assembly control ONI though no one realizes it, and they are essentially the Illuminati ('thinking at the speed of light')

*ahem*obviously the important thing about the coordinates is that they reach the recipient, not whether they're kept secret. smart people would realize this*cough*

Uhmmm....no.

The important thing about handing over coordinates that Halsey suspects will change the face of this very, very one sided losing war......is that the Covenant do not get the same information.

Because then they'll arrive at whatever it is, and take it from us. Especially since our military HQ and the vast majority of our fleet just fell defending our second most strategic world.

Do you ever, even for a moment, read what you type? You make no sense.

Correct. She didn't have the object at the time. But from what I understand, Ackerson had it. So, she pretty much let it slip that "Hey, I've got something that you need and you have something I need. Let's put our differences aside and share our secrets."

Doing that probably gave her enough time to do whatever she needed and lie to Ackerson. "Sorry, I can't help you." Now, this is all based off Halsey's personality (she despised Ackerson), the journal (she talks about needing the artifact) and finally The Fall of Reach (she and Cortana talk about it). She got her hands on the object at some point.

A)I believe this is correct. I'd have to re-read the pads again.

B) I think the only one they became aware of was Onyx. Other then that, there was no conversation about the artifact at Sigma. Like I mentioned earlier, they only seem concerned about themselves and the advancement/survival of their creators. Onyx posed a threat.

Now, if there is something else I'm missing, feel free to correct it.

Ha ha ha! I remember reading about that! But it was part of a bigger picture, involving Bungie as a whole. XD

I don't know. I honestly think that's quite a stretch at this point. I mean, I can't argue against it but I don't think one could argue for it either.

It says in the data pads that the Assembly found some forerunner tech but wanted to hide it from the humans because it would be like giving a gorilla a hand grenade

When the war started though they wanted to advance human science faster than before to make sure they actually won the war

Then they talk about 'channels' they can use to feed humans information/inspiration without drawing attention to themselves. I believe they mention an ONI project at this point.

Anyway my point is I don't see why the Assembly WOULDN'T be interested in whatever Forerunner tech Halsey was studying. Their goal is essentially the advancement of human science to ensure long term survival.

  • 01.27.2011 3:12 PM PDT

Yes but while she's gone Mendicant Bias helps you out, and when on Earth the humans have the upper hand anyway, outnumbering the covenant

So Cortana wasn't necessary for victory in those engagements. But on Alpha Halo and High Charity...

Vengeance only leads to an ongoing cycle of hatred.

Well, they needed her for Chief, of course. But, in the book, I think she's already with the Chief and doesn't need to be delivered.

(I recognize you :P ) It was just a fragment of her in Reach. It says in Halsey's Journal, which came with the Limited and Legendary Editions of Reach, that Halsey divided a sub-routine from Cortana to study and decipher the Forerunner Artifact under SWORD Base, that's what you deliver to the Autumn, a fragment of Cortana holding whatever information from the Artifact that she decrypted.

No they didn't. In fact humanity couldn't do jack squat on Earth. The Covenant were able to essentially do as they please. The only reason why the Covenant left Earth was because humanity failed to stop them right then and there from accessing the "Ark".

Hell if the Portal was the Ark then Humanity would have lost the war instead right then and there. Humanity was outnumbered, not the Covenant...

Eventually, you'll have simian confetti.

But the tech they're referring to is actually Onyx, or as they call it 'XF-063'. That was the only Forerunner tech they mention through all the data-pads.

Then they talk about 'channels' they can use to feed humans information/inspiration without drawing attention to themselves. I believe they mention an ONI project at this point.


First, they talk about ORION, its candidates and how it will lead to something great. That was back in 2508.

2525 rolls around. SPARTAN-II Program is up and running. One group believes that the program reaching full operational capacity was going to happen when you look at the relevant data. The other group believes that any military application will see advanced innovation during a time of conflict, leaving it up to luck. At that point, they pretty much decide to leave meta-physics up to us.

2526. The Assembly discusses the SPARTAN-IIs, the Covenant, Project ORION, the ODSTs and the Insurrection. They come to the conclusion that the SPARTAN-IIs are better off fighting the alien menace.

The ORION Project was originally meant to deal with Human Civil War. The ODSTs are that replacement and are more then qualified to handle the job. That would be the "leaking" and the ONI project(s).

Said it yourself. It would be giving an ape a hand grenade. They debated if showing humanity Onyx would be a threat to their survival or not. They deemed that the monkey would blow itself up lol.

The only way that the Assembly would leak Forerunner tech would be after the war is over. They mention this and decide that it's time to enter hostilities. So, the Assembly put the advancement of the human-race on the back-burner, deciding that the survival of the human race was more important.

Can't promise the advancement of the species if that species doesn't survive. They knew this.

Also, a little more proof that the structure under SWORD didn't "map" an AI to a human brain.

Incredible. [10141-026-SRB4695], with minimal influence from this Assembly, has attempted to build an abstract fractal structure within Shaw-Fujikawa Space.

Halsey was working on a neural-link. The first test failed, 2547.

Completed the neural-link successfully. 2549.

Field tests were conducted August 29th, 2552. Success.

We know where this is going. The second to last entry the Assembly makes. They're talking about the neural-link. It allowed both Cortana and Chief to exist as one. All of that came from no Forerunner tech. The Assembly had very little influence on the project. It was all human ingenuity.

  • 01.27.2011 7:44 PM PDT

ok, few things
First, I'm not sure what you're getting at re:'leaking' from ONI. The datapad from 2525 says

[^] A careful rationing of intelligence and counterintelligence will be required to sustain this conflict until our creators have closed the technology gap. Accordingly, the Assembly will have many difficult decisions to make for the duration of this conflict. However, our creators have already instituted several programs that will make acting on those decisions much easier. [^]

[^] For example, telemetry manipulation - in concert with synchronized M2M remote documentation revision - will allow this body to employ assets within the Office of Naval Intelligence's nascent Radio Beacon Deployment Program efficiently and securely. [^]

So, talks about leaking/planting information to help the humans, during the Covenant conflict, and sounds pretty similar to the situation with Halsey receiving a hologram from an anonymous ONI source. True, the Assembly don't mention any other Forerunner things, but they do refer to Onyx once again later on, saying how after the war it can be explored properly for the development of human science.

Secondly, the Assembly initially refrain from being involved in 'the metaphysical' - by which they mean playing God. There comes a point in the war when they realize it's time to start interfering in broader human affairs, 'getting involved with the metaphysical.' It didn't mean they left science/physics to us (not sure if that was your implication).

Thirdly, the part about creating an abstract fractal in slipspace to represent an AI. My contention is that the 'neural link' is just one part of a bigger project. The abstract fractal experimented with a new environment for an AI mind, then Halsey realized that the human brain has higher-dimensional properties, so she started working on the initial neural link which was achieved in 2549, then 3 years later the full mapping was completed and the Assembly took notice. And the war was won shortly after. Halo: Cryptum confirms the higher-dimensional properties of the brain.

Of course it's not explicitly confirmed that 'the package' relates to the mapping, but it makes more sense than just being a really risky and slow method of sending some simple but vital data (co-ordinates, language codec)

Thinking about it now, you might be right. But the object did exist and I do believe she got her hands on it, especially when she mentions Ackerson having his hands on an actual alien artifact. You help me, I help you sorta deal.

I think some people are forgetting that the Pillar of Autumn was leaving Reach for a specific mission, to board an important Covenant ship and kidnap a Prophet. Nothing to do with Halo at all, they got there because of protocols.
